Optical Phantom

INO has launched the BioMimic optical phantom, which replicates
the optical properties of human and animal tissue. Based on optical-quality polymers,
the solid phantom incorporates visible and near-infrared absorbing dyes and TiO2
scatterers to re-create a variety of tissues. It is suitable for systems calibration,
and its applications include Monte Carlo simulation, absorbance and scattering property
determination, time-resolved fluorescence measurement and fluorescence spectral
calibration.
